  Think Analogies® clearly, easily, and effectively teaches your child how to analyze and classify analogies by relationship, category, and structure.

ThinkAnalogy™ Puzzles Software are fun, engaging programs that help your child truly understand the basis of an analogy. These activities develop razor-sharp analogy, vocabulary, word analysis, and comprehension skills for the highest academic and test performance.

Methods (Books)
Both books begin with an exploration of word relationships. Your child classifies word groups, forms pairs of related items, then identifies types of analogous relationships and classifies them. Finally, your child selects and supplies words and word pairs to complete analogies. Book B1 also teaches how to read and understand analogy structures, describe analogous relationships, and make analogies from word lists.

Teaching Support (Books)
Includes clear explanations of different types of analogies, answers, and a fun reward game.

Methods (Software)
For each activity, players analyzes 30 potential analogy pairs, evaluating word meanings and relationships to find the best matches. Then they classify each analogy by type—a process that's vital to understanding an analogous relationship.
